Join Romesh Ranganathan, Jamie Redknapp and Micah Richards for the brand-new series of A League of Their Own - available on Sky Max and streaming service NOW every Thursday #ALOTO

The English bias from redknapp while Richards went with his ball IQ

I hated the vibe of redknapp micah is having fun but redknapp is so rude man

Never bring back redknapp again

Romesh is spot on when he pointed out that him and Jamie have rubbish football knowledge in common

@Dan Kok maybe cos Robertson has been better than cancelo for years

@Dan Kok and now cancelos been shipped off to bayern, aged well didnt it

@AKGAMING cancelo is a better all round footballer but Robertson really suits Liverpools style.

@Dan Kok how is that funny!!! That's literally facts!! Fabinho and roberston probably the best in the world in their positions so what you're saying sounds stupid!

@Bibek Koirala Now you have managed to comment the most brain dead things I could think of. Congrats

I always thought that Jamie was a horrendous pundit, because of his opinions. This video is a very strong argument to state my case. Micah, on the other hand, is getting better and better. Love the guy!

All I had to do is look at the headline of Romesh, Micah and Redknapp to know not to watch this nauseating garbage

Bro dont act like micah is any better. The only reason he's a pundit is because he's that comic relief character everyone likes in the movies. There's no doubt Rodri is the better player but if uve seen philips play for leeds last season ud know theres a reason they call him the english pirlo.

​@billy yeah I do respect Jamie as a player and I would never deny his experience, but in the last couple of years he had some very weird takes on many occasions (examples: his constant criticism on Mourinho, his opinion about Spurs' fullbacks Doherty and Reguilón, etc.). Of course, Phillips is a fantastic midfielder (and, in my opinion, far more complete than Rodri in terms of playing characteristics) and I do highly rate him. I hope he gets time at City, but as of now and as you said in your response to my comment, Rodri is the better passer (and probably one of the best passers in the world in his position). Since the video is about the best present 11 and not the 11 with the best potential, Jamie is not right on this one. P.S.: Setting a condescending tone by calling someone a "kid" doesn't make you win the argument ;) Have a great one.

Jamie knows his football and played at the highest possible level in midfield, have a bit of respect kid. Phillips certainly has a greater range of passes in his arsenal and is a more talented passer. Rodri is a better player, as of now. But Rodri has never been credited with his arsenal of passes but rather his immaculate positioning defensively, his ability to play in small spaces and his off the ball awareness(which are all world class). Guardiola knows a player when he sees one and he bought Phillips with plans to integrate him into a team with Haaland to get the range of passes from deep midfield in behind opposition defenders, it’s a slow gradual change for pep into a different style of play.

Jamie has been flying too close to the sun.

he sounds pissed up through-out the entirety of this video

Love Romesh. Jamie proving the redknapp's insufferable reputation

Cancelo was probably Man City's 2nd best player last season, crazy to leave him out

Nah kdb was our best then rodri then probably bernardo

Better lb than Robbo and probably All round better than Trent at RB, monster full back

Cancelo was by far the best LB in the league last year... absolutely underrated

@KTK bro thinks he did something

@KTK really got him there

The audacity of calling out someone for their football knowledge while saying Phillips is a better passer than Rodri. 💀

Phillips is poor

@Abhinav Jindal It's interesting they completely overlooked Laporte. I think they're all sort of on par - Laporte, Diaz and Matip.

@Robert Keys If I wanted to when I play on a Sunday I could rarely miss a pass if all I did was pass it 5 yards except for the odd longe range attempt

@Alex Atkinson Philips one of the best passing ranges in modern football? The English bias sometimes baffles me I sometimes think it’s borderline insanity.. and by the way I am a Brit myself..

@Alex Atkinson Gotta laugh man, you sit here telling people they haven't watched games. But to be honest mate it sounds like you haven't. Rodri is "controlling" games with his passing, sort of a lie when you are side by side with KDB but still kind of true. Sure he makes easy passes often, but he rarely misses. Which in most peoples eyes means you are a great passer

Big up for Micah shouting out Matip he was sensational for us last season i remember him scoring an impossible header against Southampton in the 2nd last match of the season in the 90 th minute . If not for him we would have been out of the title race much earlier . Btw Jamie is delusional and behaved like a total bellend with Romesh .

I can't believe Micah picked Matip over Dias. I think Micah is sniffing pre workout powder before the gym which impairs his judgement

Yes but Diaz is clear

Jamie is clueless nearly all the time lmao

No cancelo is also bizarre to me , one of the most complete prem footballers in recent years. A joy to watch

Didn't watch the whole video but no cancel is a joke. He is better than walker and a better defender and all round footballer than trent

Redknapp acting like knob throughout the whole video whilst Micah and Ramesh are having a laugh, and they still got more ball knowledge than him

@The Occupier well said sir and amazing profile photo. My kinda guy.

Three of the most nauseating people you could find on the planet talking about something they aint got a clue about - not my idea of entertainment

Redknapp horrid ball knowledge

All Micha does is laugh he’s a shit pundit the worst out the lot

@safe maybe but he’s a experienced pundit he should know by now to keep his cool on the camera. Fair enough if he was just starting off but by now if you can’t control your emotions you shouldn’t be a pundit you’ll just end up being reactionary

How does gundogan not even get a mention? he won player of the month in Jan/feb first ever city player to win two in a row and then scored two goals for the title final game of the season a real leader on the pitch as well.

Even Kalvin would piss himself if you told him he was a better passer than Rodri 😂

I agree passing wise phillips is better anything else rodri by far

Phillips doesn't even get a game

completely agreed mate. jamie needs to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPaNwSGjvzY from 7:10 - 8:20 and then comment about Rodri's passing ability instead of spewing dogshit.

@JPA_Fasty That’s like saying Messi’s best attribute is dribbling so his passing isn’t better then a certain player lol passing can be Phillips best attribute but it don’t mean he can pass better then Rodri

@It’s Luna - Here she is he is also a pressing machine & when the team is playing well he will force opponents to make mistakes,. He is a great 😌 player hopefully he win’s trophies at city.

Micah bursting out with laughter is one of the funniest things I'll ever witness

He's got an awesome laugh 😂

Romesh is an absolute gem!!! 😅😅😅

Glad to see that Romesh is here, one of the best comedians atm

Rodri it’s so underrated. People need to watch this guy more He has no flaws in his game.

Im a leeds fan btw. Rodri is better than phillips in every department. thats just obvious that

@Samoke brought the facts 👏 well done. Anyone who says otherwise just has pie on their face and doesn’t see the quality of Rodri like, ahem, Redknapp

@Jamie Stapleton English bias

completely agreed mate. jamie needs to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPaNwSGjvzY from 7:10 - 8:20 and then comment about Rodri's passing ability instead of spewing dogshit.

@Hamza Burhan what video you watching pal?

@Golden Golden we already have the best for that... thats de bruyne

redknapp is honestly that one guy who would defend every single english player to his grave

Richards reaction to Redknapp saying Phillips is a better passer than Rodri was priceless

*Jamie really can't take a joke,* it's like he's got somewhere else he needs to be

@BPslyful Jamie's the type of guy who'd run the chicken over before it crossed the road

It's so awkward

Jamie: "So you're just gonna throw that much money at someone but say he's not that ready" Micah: "He cost us 45mil" Jamie: "It's not all about money!' 🤡

No way did Jamie say Phillips better passer than Rodri. Gutter footy knowledge

completely agreed mate. jamie needs to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPaNwSGjvzY from 7:10 - 8:20 and then comment about Rodri's passing ability instead of spewing dogshit.

He is a better passer of than ball than Rodri, no one said better player,better passer

Passer isn’t the same as saying he’s a better player we all know Rodri is arguably the best DM on the planet

Jamie Redknob ladies and gentleman

@Bhavya Mankad who?

Rodri has to be the most underrated midfielder itw it’s actually insane he’s been world class for this long now and gets compared to Kalvin Phillips

Just his passing. Rodri is better all round but Philips is clear on passing

completely agreed mate. jamie needs to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPaNwSGjvzY from 7:10 - 8:20 and then comment about Rodri's passing ability instead of spewing dogshit.

I thought it was common knowledge hes the best cdm in the world

Thats what makes he so good. Doesn't want any lime light. No social media. World class professional.

Gundogan wasn’t even mentioned. Two most underrated players in world football

Jamie gives such bad takes in this one. Rodri has one of the highest pass success rates year in year out in the prem. Also, playing CDM for City is one of the hardest things to do as the responsibility and expectation weigh heavier than in any other team.

In a team like this I would pick Trent because they would spend most their time attacking but on a team when it is mostly 50/50 Walker is getting in 100% of the time and for people going to start crying he had Vinny in his back pocket after coming back from injury

@William Exactly but that just goes to show how good he is man is in his 30s and is out pacing a youngster that is known for his skills and tricks

@William 💯💯

What's funny is Walker was actually unfit in the second leg, pep risked playing Kyle cause dude was still injured And he still had Vinny packed inside his pocket Shame when he got subbed off we got punished

The way Jamie calls what rodri does as "basic stuff" just shows how underrated rodri and busquets are.

Romesh is a absolute geezer love him😂😂😂

In my opinion, For a 2022 Liverpool X Man City team I would put: •Cancelo over Robertson •Dias over foden

Romesh pointing out Jamies area being in the bench was great😂

Rodri is becoming like Busquets. Highly underrated.

@WSSC SOCCER SKILLZ top player name 4 CDM's on prem better

@Gaz W fabiniho is overrated he's awful

Yet gets in 😅 hows he under rated fabinho under rated soo consistent so rarely does something wrong

No way Jamie actually argued Foden is better on the right when he exclusively plays on the left 🤨🤨

Diaz should have gone on the left over foden

@void of life yep, same as Trent.

He thinks every left winger who is left footed becomes messi when played on the right wing

He doesnt play on the right.

Hi there! Check out our Premier League predictions video!!

Jamie saying rodri's job is easy with city squad, when pep litrally lost a cl final to Chelsea because he decided not to play rodri as his cdm tho he was playing him all season. Rodri is class. United fan btw

These 3 are great together need more of them!

Who on earth would pick Matip over Dias 😂😂😂

I would pick Konate above both

Does Jamie actually ever watch football. I though Micah had poor football knowledge but god Jamie has outdone him

At the start of the video when Jamie was going on about Philips (I’d forgot City signed Kalvin Phillips), as a Liverpool fan, I genuinely thought Jamie was arguing Nat Phillips was a better passer than Rodri 😂. Glad I kept watching to clear that up!

😂😂

Who the fuk is nat philips?

Same

Hi there! Check out our Premier League predictions video!!

Same

For me it’s: Alisson Cancelo Dias VVD TAA Rodri Bernardo KDB Salah Diaz Haaland

@Kyle Humphrey Foden isn't even regularly in City's starting 11. Diaz has been phenomenal ever since he came to Liverpool.

Diaz over foden 😂😂😂 joker

If we are talking longevity then Robertson must be here.

Robertson and Thiago make it in for me

Rodri is the best CDM in Europe. Mad underrated.

This is the best video to come out of sports bible get Romesh on more 😂

Safe to say Haaland has definitely proven himself in the Prem🤣

Rodri's been criminally underrated by everyone but people who watch Manchester City, with no disrespect to Fabinho cause he's a great player but there's no way he deserved to be a Ballon D'or Nominee ahead of Rodri. Rodri's been absolutely fantastic for us and on top of that he added crucial goals that won us vital points to win the league. As he's performing at the moment, he'll be the closest player we'll get to Prime Busquets.

@Gaz W So is Rodri though mate. And tbh Eze did eat Fab alive last week. Thank fuck United dont have any players near Ebere's level

@SafeBans crazy fabinho is so solid

@Cari PasaL I dont know what this means, sorry

Hi there! Check out our Premier League predictions video!!

@SafeBans but in the end, we must make sure whos got the trophy ey?

No cancelo?! This guy is an absolute monster, for me he is honestly the most complete player in the world. This is from a United fan..

FYI, as it stands, Kalvin Phillips' pass completion % is at 83.6%. Rodri on the other hand....92%

"Diaz has done it for 6 months", yes that is a whole 6 months more than Grealish has been good for City

IMO best combined XI would be (4-2-3-1) -> Allison (GK), Robertson (LB), Van Dijk (LCB), Dias (RCB), Cancelo (RB), Rodri (CDM), Thiago (CM), De Bruyne (CAM), Salah (RW), Haaland (ST), Foden (RW) !!. Would use Trent as RM if the lineup is Flat 4-4-2 !!.

Perfect but swap Bernardo for thiago and mahrez for foden as of rn (I'm a man United fan)

Rodri's best attribute is his passing.

completely agreed mate. jamie needs to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPaNwSGjvzY from 7:10 - 8:20 and then comment about Rodri's passing ability instead of spewing dogshit.

@NPhil you are delusional

Hi there! Check out our Premier League predictions video!!

I'd say his composure and positioning, but that too

@billy yeah also progresive pass doesn't mean any pass forward it has to be at least 10 yards forward.

Lad Bible have really been creating some great football content

Jamie is incredibly lucky to even be on TV with his lack of knowledge.

19:46 HOW can a professional pundit make such a ludicrous statement?!? I mean you don't have to analyse games to see through the insanity of what he said. Cruyff and Guardiola have been pretty vocal about the importance of the holding midfielder. It is literally the most important position in Pep's system. Truly bonkers.

This made me laugh rather than combined XI 😂

Rednap takes on Rodri shows you how really underrated Rodri is.

Rodri 🤣 got picked yet is under rated. Micah said if rodri wasn't there city wouldn't be as good 🤣😂🤣😂 yet fernandinho did same, gundogun performs there put any of those three in liverpool and they instantly look weaker. Fabinho is way under rated.

Is it just me or is Jamie Redknapp just absolutely raging every time we see him nowadays… ‘look at me when I’m talking to ya’ what’s happening ?

Jamie's knowledge is to be questioned at times 🤣

Euros shown exactly the ‘passing’ ability Phillips had, cried out for a Rodri and have for years - someone with top level close knit passing and keeping hold of the ball.

Phillips has more “clubs in his golf bag” but Rodri’s passing shouldn’t be understated

Romesh has never watched a game of football in his life, he just agrees with everything Micah says

There was no argument for Rodri but he put him in 😂

That Philips call was wild but holy fuck Matip better than Dias is one of the craziest calls I’ve heard in years. Absolutely insanity.

Gundogan is so underrated. They didn't even mention him.

@Your Mum Thiago the guy who can’t play more than 3 games in a row? Behave mate

He’s good but he’s like Henderson in the fact that he isn’t that guy that puts up amazing night every night, but a guy they can really rely on when they need it

@Daft Funk bro downplaying thiago so hard, 4 la ligas, 2 ucls, 2 club world cups and more, thiago is underrated and miles clear of gundogan

Gundogan walks in ffs you're right.

People are mad wont speak there mind, bernado silva is a little cry baby a bad influence in the city dressing room and gundogan is captain of city when he starts, gundogan would be my choice over silva

I love Richards I'd love to have a pint with him he's pure class

What is up with Jamie Redknapp recently? He's been losing it with everyone

please do another feature with Romesh in it, this guy is too funny XD

The football knowledge of Jamie 🤣🤣🤣Rodri I one of the best passer in the league

Jamie is the perfect definition of English BIAS.....who in their right mind picks Phillips over Rodri, plus I cant understand how they decided Grealish, Foden over Luis Diaz...its Crazy.

@SIB19 Years.

@Get in there Lewis! Out, out out, out out out Lol man said years

Foden been doing what Dias has been doing for years.

What Diaz is doing in 6 months foden has been doing since 1.5 years

Micah laugh is infectious 😂😂😂😂

Apart from Passing Rodri has strength and is also good in Controling the ball.

No cancelo?! This guy is an absolute monster, for me he is honestly the most complete player in the world. This is from a United fan..

Agree with Jamie to an extent Phillips long range passing is incredible but overall short passes, long passes, chances created by passes picking Philips over Rodri is very delusional

@Brian Ngure cesc in his first season at Chelsea got 18 league assists which was when he sat with matic and got 12 in his last season 🤣 well obviously we're talking about when they were sitting deeper you tit. As you stated Phillips is sitting way deeper in a counter attacking team. His job was to transition quickly and spray the ball forward. Phillips is defensively average and not great positionally which are the other key traits needed in a deeplying playmaker. Honestly this is just embarrassing. Please stop talking

@Brian Ngure box to box? 🤣 you must've started watching football about 3 years ago. Fabregas sat in a 2 with Matic whilst at Chelsea and was getting 15 odd assists a season. Scholes past his early years sat in a two with Carrick and still got shit loads of assists. We might as well leave it here because you clearly don't have the football knowledge to have a sensible conversation. Phillips passing is what made him our second best player you fool 🤣 he's pretty average in almost every other facet other than his passing. Mctominay is fucking awful. Why would you even bring him up? As we've already stated passing accuracy is pretty much only an indicator of who passes sideways the most. Kdb is hands down the best passer in the league and he's way down on that stat because he tries to play the killer ball and the same with all of the other best passers in the league

@Brian Ngure firstly, learn to read I just told you I watch basically every city game. Secondly you're just repeating what I said in the first place and your point is contradictory. The whole being able to play diagonals is a nonsense. Players like scholes, fabregas etc did it from the middle of the park. This is getting boring now. If you've watched phillips properly you would see his range of passing whilst playing for either Leeds or England. He was probably our second best player in the Euros playing in a team that was dominating the ball for the most part

@Brian Ngure I watch virtually every city game. No one is disputing that Rodri is higher up the pitch than phillips was whilst at Leeds. We're discussing whether Rodri is a better passer than phillips and so far your only argument is that he doesn't have as much space as phillips did. It's a completely contradictory point. He either does have enough space to play the passes over the top (which you've said is not true and I agree) or he should be getting more assists than 2 a season if he's as good of a passer as you're making out. Just accept that you're wrong and move on

@Brian Ngure you're just completely contradicting yourself here. So Rodri doesn't have space to make passes that lead to goals but Bernardo and KDB do? Youre just embarrassing yourself. Like you're saying city centre backs are usually over the halfway line for the majority of the game so it's not even a case of him sitting that much deeper than the other two. Assists aren't everything but they're what great passers are paid the big money for. You think KDB would be regarded as the best player in the league and an all time great if he wasn't playing all these defence splitting, eye of the needle passes that lead to goals? You have a very flawed understanding of the game

Absolute MADNESS !! That there's an argument about Cancelo he's probably the best in the world

"how could there be more Liverpool players?" there should be more Liverpool players because their defence and attack is better but the midfield which is the most important part of the team has city name all over if you see the starting and the bench especially when you see that our best midfielder is injured very much then the passes to the attackers and the defence in the midfield gets weakened

This was hilarious 🤣 good show

Honestly will never understand how Redknapp has actually made it as a pundit. You could write what he knows about football on the back of a postage stamp and have room to write your order down for dinner. Clueless.

its because he played the game pal simple as that you only have to offer an opinion as a pundit however muddled and silly the opinion actually is if you used to play football this makes you a pundit nothing to do with talking sense he ain't on his own is he ie football pundits that talk rubbish tho is he m8 saying Phillips is a better football player than rodri is laughable tho ain't it probably because Phillips is English he said that it ain't even a criticism of Phillips to be fair its just that rodri is better basically?🤣

Did Micah say Grealish over Diaz😂😂😂 Grealish had a poor season last year, Diaz for 6 months was better than Grealish was for 12 months

Theres a video on YT of Rodri and Thiago hitting 45 meters passes to each other in the spanish camp, the hit one after the other without the ball ever touching the ground. And Jamie says Rodri only does short passes

There’s no way on this earth Phillips is a better passer than Rodri😂😂😂 how can Rednap be soo adamant 😂

Phillips having better passing than Rodri 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Jamie knows ball, Kalvin Philips passing ability is sensational. Absolute tank on top of that, proper DM he is.

Micah is the best pundit I’ve ever seen. He makes me so happy

it's funny how the players from team that has won 80% 4 of 5 of the past 5 EPL seasons aren't as good as those that have won 1 out of 5?? How often have we heard how great Liverpool have been and what amazing players they have and yet they have pretty much been on the coat tails of City for all this time.

@Matty Reynolds I thik you miss the point - I'm not having a go at Liverpool - but the way the media create a narrative. Liverpool won the EPL for the first time in 30 years and got a special 1 hour documentary on the BBC. What did the MM do when City won the EPL for the first time in 44 years, or scoring 100 points or record number of goals or the first domestic treble..? God knows what the media would do if Arsenal or Man Utd turn it around and actually win a title ... Imagine if Spurs won something!!??

@mike taylor Liverpool have played very well.

Bernardo Silva even said it... How can the player of the year, and team of the year so consistently not have the players that won the EPL, scored over 100 goals, won 100 points, won a domestic treble etc etc but the experts select from the teams that couldn't match their level??? How many times did Aguero / David Silva / Kompany et al even get a mention .. hardly ever

@Matty Reynolds and yet the title isn't given for nearly nor the records have footnotes for "good try". My point isn't that Liverpool haven't played well But the level of praise they are given ( whilst City just bought everything) for effectively failing is unbelievable

City have literally just a few more points than Liverpool over the last 4 years…

My knowledge of football goes as far as putting the ball in the goal, but this was entertaining to watch.

Jamie is a ticking time bomb 🤣🤣

WTF is wrong with him looks shattered at the end of his tether!... and Matip nothing without VVD?... member that season he was without Virg?... like he's never watched him

guy gets so emotional haha

9:50 had me howling he mugged Jamie ROGHT off hahaha

Thiago instead of bernardo nearly gave me heartattack,thank god they corrected their mistake afterwards😝

2 different types of players. Thiago is amazing at switching play/ creating openings all around the field. Silva is amazing at close controle and dribbling. both amazing

I love Matip he's extremely underrated

Great stuff. More like this please

I’d say the best Man City+Liverpool team would be Allison Trent, Van Dijk, Dias, Cancello De Brune, Rodri, Bernardo Silva Salah, Haaland, Foden So 7-4 to Man City

W but walker>trent

All perfect, only arguements that can be possible could be walker/trent or fabinho/rodri but thats valid

Rodri it’s so underrated. People need to watch this guy more He has no flaws in his game.

City has been incredible without debruyne too and Liverpool has been playing excellent without Virgil injury. So it's very average squad selection. I would be delighted to see managers make the squad selection instead of players who are as average as fans in terms of understanding the talents.

Jamie was deff drunk for this hahaha

Richards made me laugh within 5 seconds lol🔥🔥🔥🔥

Redknapp and Micah are hilarious 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

Chelsea fan I'd go: Allison Trent VVD Dias Cancelo Thiago Rodri KDB Salah Haaland Foden It is a bit early with Haaland but based on his time and Dortmund and his first 3 performances I have no doubt he'll be better than Jota and Nunez

Thiago over bernardo lolll

Micah and the anchor's reaction 💯🤣

The fact that Jamie said the cdm position is the easiest role in the city team blows my mind it is by a mile the most important and pep has said it himself, that was his position in his playing career after all

@Amierul Aiziq cdm and goalkeeper are the hardest

Though its quite true.. imagine playing CDM for lower side 😂😂 CDM is the hardest position when your team sucks. Saying easiest doesn't play down the importance of the role though. Currently, the hardest position in Man City is the two accompanying the CDM and the fullbacks.

When you consider that Rodri was behind a mid-30s Fernandinho in the pecking order for a season or two, it takes someone that Guardiola really trusts to fulfill that role.

How anybody pays Redknapp for his insight blows my mind. The guy is clueless 😂😂

their knowledge about football is quite weird lol : "foden is better in the right" "philips is a better passer than rodri" (he is only saying that because he is english xD) choosing roberston over cancelo is literally a crime, cancelo is the best lb in the world and its not even close.

Romesh was really struggling through this poor guy hahahaha

Micah is an absolute unit 💪😍

My man matip deserves some respect. One of a kind. The legend👀

Honestly some dreadful choices but Romesh made the video always cracking me up
